For elderly people, the difficulty in communicating their condition especially the health condition during disaster is one of the problems in which delay on immediate handling by rescue team can cause death. Providing a solution for this problem is one of the main issues in our research. With its flexibility to implement and the capability to save relatively larger data than other types of barcode, we propose QR Code as the media to convey the elderly people's data to be put on daily necessities such as clothes. However, since the amount of data is large, we divide the data encoded in QR Code into personal and health data. In this paper, we also discuss image-processing method to handle colorful QR Code in the reading process. Moreover, in order to save QR Code reading time we also introduce multiresolution method for recognizing and reading multiple QR Code.

This paper proposes PI gain controller parameters tuning by using Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning (FRIT) method for speed control of PMSM using FPGA for high frequency SiC MOSFET Inverter. PI controller parameters can be tuned by using FRIT without mathematical model of plant from one-shot experimental data. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is utilized for the optimization of FRIT. The inverter using SiC MOSFET is presented to achieve high - frequency operation up to 100 kHz with a switching PWM technique. As the result, high response and good stability control system of PMSM can be achieved so that speed response follows the ideal response for step response and disturbance response. Digital hardware control based on FPGA is used to maximize the switching frequency of SiC MOSFET inverter. Finally, an experimental system is set up and some experimental results are demonstrated.

The classical vector analysis is proposed to deduce angular momenta of evaporated protons from medium-energy proton-nucleus reactions. The intranuclear cascade model is applied to extract the angular momentum vector of highly excited nucleus, which is in equilibrium after the cascade process. The mixing ratios of angular momenta are determined to fit experimental angular distributions. Resultant ratios show clear tendency in terms of target mass.

There are a lot of problems to be solved and we focused on the charging method. If this is solved, the robots will become more widespread than now. In this paper, we will introduce the overview of new contact-type charger needless the positioning which we already developed. In addition to that, we are going to introduce and explain the device which can communicate with charger using only two lines.

Recent house electrical appliances generate a number of auditory signals, when a user operates an appliance or an appliance draws attention to a user. In this paper, we focus on multi-functional microwave ovens, which commonly have several auditory signals for user's operation, error occurrence, completion of cooking, and so on. A wide variety of auditory signals for current microwave ovens have two problems: it is difficult for users to image what the auditory signals inform, and the auditory signals including high frequency components are not friendly for elderly users. In this paper, popular auditory signals for microwave ovens were subjectively evaluated with/without an elderly-simulated band-pass filter, which simulated an averaged audiogram of elder people, on the five grade scales of easiness of perception, unpleasantness, and emergency. Experimental results suggest that young and elderly people might imagine different function for a single auditory signal. Finally, suitable auditory signals both for young and elderly users are proposed in the viewpoints of frequency and temporal patterns.

This paper presents an inductive pressure sensor which can be employed for the acquisition of biomedical signal, and these signals can be extremely vital in monitoring and diagnosing human body conditions. Based on the nature of the application, such implementations require precise and real time measurement for measuring any biomedical parameters. The proposed inductive pressure sensor is based on the basic principle of producing inductive changes in response to the movement of a core towards a coil. Using the inductive coil, the physical parameter that is the movement of iron core is translated into a signal with proportionate output frequency change. This type of sensor offers some important criteria like high level of linearity and sensitivity. The proposed pressure sensor can be very effective as it can be used in many biomedical applications.

Fire detection and protection are major problems in factories. A closely related problem is to localize fire sources to effectively extinguish those. In this paper we presented development of a moderate cost wireless sensor network based fire detection system with indoor localization capability. In Bangladesh, where large numbers of garment factories are located suffers fire incidents every year. The aim of our work was to develop fire detection system that could help the garment owners to install reliable fire detection systems with localizing capability within a relatively lower cost. As such, we have used open source hardware and software tools to develop our system and documented our approach well, so that it can be replicated anywhere.

Automated human gestures analysis has a wide range of promising applications in many advanced fields including human-computer interaction, motion analysis, and security surveillance. However, automatic gesture segmentation is still a very challenging task due to the spatio-temporal variation and endpoint localization issues, and the variation of gestures based on performers, topics and performance sessions. This paper presents a novel framework for segmenting gesture unit based on Ada-Boost and extremely randomized trees algorithms from video streams. In this approach, an Ada-Boost feature selection algorithm is applied to select compact feature subsets from the numerous raw extracted features to reduce the computational time as well as to improve the segmentation rate of the gesture segmentation model; then, selected features are fed to a robust extremely randomized trees classifier, given their capability to handle complex and unbalanced data, to segment gesture unit. The evaluation results of the experiments conducted on the publicly available benchmark gesture segmentation data set indicate that the proposed technique improve the segmentation metric by as much as 5.2% over the previously applied techniques.
